Our last concert in the first leg of the tour took place on Saturday night in the Gorge Amphitheatre, which is about two and a half hours’ drive from Seattle. It was great fun, I was unusually relaxed and Björk was marvellous. And the venue was so beautilful!
We didn’t go on stage until around midnight and as it takes about two and a half hours to drive to Seattle I wasn’t back in my hotel until 4am. And then I had to wake up at 6am to catch a plane to Boston.
From Boston I flew to Iceland, travelling with the brass girls and Mark Bell. I don’t know about them, but I have a horrible jet lag!
It is wonderful to be back. Unfortunately I won’t be here for long as Björk will be appearing on the Jools Holland show on June 5. But until then I rest my (suit)case! I will probably not be blogging until then. So all you wonderful people who have been reading the blog, see you in a week!

I was both at the Vancouver show and at Sasquatch - both were amazing, but there is something completely magical about the Gorge. Thank you so much for coming to the Northwest!!! Enjoy your break, and come back soon!

Ah, at least you have a week to recover from that extreme jet lag before performing again. I imagine it is much deserved after all that traveling and performing.

Enjoy your rest, Jonas and give my best to Björk if you have a chance.
In peace,
Kevin

Jonas,
Thanks you so much for another great show! I drove 14 hours up from the Bay Area after seeing the Shoreline show. It was on a whim. . .I didn’t get to a hotel until 4 in the morning either but it was worth it. I am sure you are all tired. Please thank Bjork and company for an amazing show. My only question is, What happened to the ReacTable?

Jónas,

Thank you so much for this amazing time. I don’t know how all of you feel, but i think that this first leg of the tour was just amazing. I’m so glad i had the opportunity to see you three times in NY! I’m still hoping for you to come to Mexico (don’t worry, i know the answer already
I’m sure that i speak for many people here: we value a lot this completely different perspective of the tour you show us. And we thank you for that.
Have the nicest week! We’ll be here waiting for your next post

Hey Jonas,
This was a wonderful show, It was so nice to see Bjork in my home state for the first time. You all were wonderful. My girlfriend was visiting from Japan, and this was her first concert ever. It’s funny, because we lucked into VIP tickets at the last moment, and it seemed we were the only ones in the VIP seats Dancing. I wish this show went all night. I also wish I could have been more close to the stage, unfortunately my girlfriend would not have been able to see, as she is only 5 ft tall. If I could afford it I would be on a plane to europe to see this show again and again. I hope Bjork can come back to Sasquatch again. The northwest is the best part of the US, we are the Scandanavians/Irish of this messed up country. We actually discuss becoming our own nation, or suceeding to canada. Anyways, thanks you everyone, and especially thank you B.

Hey Vahndehrlawst,
Great idea about succeeding to Canada. There’s always room for more cool people like yourself. I’m Dutch Viking / Irish and am currently planning a big trip down the east coast from Kingston in an authentic old-school Viking ship with some other Viking friends. There’s a picture of the boat on my blog link below. The destination is a fairy tale wedding at Disney World in Florida sometime near the summer solstice. It should be a lot of fun
Cheers and peace,
Kevin

Oh how I would like to be on that ship Ksedore
I do think the northwest should either succeed, or declare itself a giant national park. There is far too much development right now, and we are losing many places we once played as children. Iceland also needs to be declared a sanctuary I think. I cannot believe they want to build that F’n Dam.
I hope we can all take some time out and figure out a proper way to harness energy. Seems we have lots of deserts with few to no solar panels.
FYI whenever I meet Canadians, and tell them I am from the USA, and then say I am from Seattle, they quickly say “oh no, you are one of us! We don’t think of people from washington as USA citizens. I honestly have to say that always makes me feel a little relieved. It took me many years to realize the kids in the northwest really are up on the peak of american culture. I am very happy to be there, and hope we can spread the good vibes across the country, rather than being swallowed whole by greedy developers.
Peace, and love forever to all,
Vahndehrlawst, aka Gu
